This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $300,000 over a 3-year period from August 2024 to July 2027 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on the mathematical and computational modeling of networked systems.
The key research areas include: 1) Creating accurate mathematical models of network structures to enable realistic simulations using limited data; 2) Developing information-theoretic approaches for analyzing and understanding network data and dynamics; and 3) Improving methods for network ranking problems with enhanced performance guarantees. The project aims to advance the state-of-the-art in network science by producing new theoretical and applied results, while also training graduate students as part of the research efforts. No subawards are planned under this grant.
